As you may recall, I have been pushing the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) to help SBCTC in identifying a vendor for a state-wide contract to provide accessible PDF remediation services for our colleges, especially for those documents that are complex
or too time consuming for the DS office/other college offices to remediate in a timely fashion.</div>

In my ideal world, DES will run an RFP process to identify a vendor that is known and reputable within the accessibility world, and I have shared several examples with them. <span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size:11pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">In
reality, DES won't run an RFP until they are certain that the current vendors contracted with the state cannot meet this request. So, I am now vetting two different companies to see what they can do.</span></div>
